The Queen’s Look

Tag

He is the kaiser of international fashion: his looks – dark glasses, white shirt, white ponytail – have made history and continue to do so. She is the 86 year-oldQueen of the United Kingdom, a woman who has spent 60 years on the British throne and made brightly coloured suits and gorgeous hats her signature style.

While the Diamond Jubilee – marking 60 years of Her Majesty’s reign – is being celebrated in London in huge style, Karl Lagerfeld has been commentating for France 2, just as he did a year ago for the wedding of William and Kate. According to the Telegraph, Lagerfeld asked his parents to buy a television so they could witness Elizabeth II’s coronation in 1952.

Now, during his TV commentary and using Twitter, he has reinterpreted the Queen’s look – her outfit was by Angela Kelly – in a less severe and more feminine style. Lagerfeld hand-sketched a sovereign wrapped in a large cloak decorated with ruffles that really refine the Royal look. There’s a hat as well of course – a distinctive feature of the Queen’s style that Lagefeld wanted to keep.
